    Pristine Country

    The start of a fjord runs horizontally beneath one of the numerous towering sets of peaks in a scene that looks timeless. Driving across the interior of the island of Kvaløya, looking in any direction away from the road gives a similarly unspoiled vista, looking like a scene from before the time of man.

  • Hike Up Mannen

    Our first attempted hike was up Mannen - it was supposed to be easy. We managed to get pretty high up before we finally lost the trail. Great views of Vik and Haukland beaches were still possible from our vantage point.

  • Weak Aurora

    Weak Aurora

    We wanted a good aurora display on our trip so Claudia could see aurora for the first time, but with so much rain and clouds it was not to be. The one clear night did allow the camera to see what the naked eye could not, a weak auroral display radiating from the north.

  • The E-10 Highway

    The E-10 Highway

    The E-10 Highway is the main road through all of the Lofoten Islands. It is in good shape and a fun drive, if a little bit narrow in spots. Here it is heading out of Reine towards Sakrisøy.

    The Long View

    The view back towards the mainland from the slopes of Offersøykammen in the Lofoten Islands as we get started on our hike was very special, and for just a few hours we had the best weather of the entire trip as well.
